Awakened Birth Testimonials

“I am forever indebted to Ajamu for guiding me with so much care through the hypnotic childbirth process! His calming presence and voice eased me into a natural state of hypnosis where I planted the seeds of intention for a pain-free enjoyable birthing experience. His considerate questions led to carefully crafted hypnotherapy sessions unique to my own needs and desires. His attention to detail, and professional follow through reassured me that he had my back, that I could do this, and that I simply needed to relax, trust my body, and breathe. Working with Ajamu led me through a highly successful home birth experience!”
-Havalah Collins, Singer, Sound Healer, and Dual Language Educator, Los Angeles, CA

"As a pediatrician and mother, I have seen children struggle with a variety of blocks over performance, whether it is with school, weight loss, or general self-confidence. I myself have struggled with weight loss and have found success in the past with hypnosis, and frequently made recommendations to my patients to give it a try. As I watched my adolescent daughter become overwhelmed with her heavy honors academic load, I could see a reciprocal drop in her self-confidence as the burden became heavier. After I serendipitously met Mr. Ayinde at a conference, I engaged his services for my daughter. At the onset of beginning their telephone and Skype sessions, my daughter was failing Chemistry and Honors Math, and the time spent trying to recover lost ground in these classes was starting to reflect poorly in her other "easy" classes, as well. Over the course of about two months, my daughter had weekly one hour sessions over the phone or via Skype with Mr. Ayinde and went into finals with all A's and B's, finishing her year passing all of her subjects and without requiring the retaking of any subjects over the summer or in the next school year. I would encourage anyone who is attempting to overcome behavioral challenges to consider hypnosis as a treatment option. Mr. Ayinde’s flexibility with using various media options to meet with clients enables him to assist your patients no matter where you are located. I always keep Mr. Ayinde’s services in mind when I am practicing and recommend his services when appropriate. The results are worthwhile."
-Joann Kaplan, MD, Lincoln Medical Partners, Damariscotta, ME

"This was my first pregnancy and I was hopeful that working with Mr. Ayinde would be beneficial. The day I went into labor, I began work on all the techniques we had practiced during our sessions. I remember hearing the nurses saying they couldn't believe how quickly I would go into hypnosis and were amazed I was able to do it without (direct) guidance from a hypnotherapist. What an experience!"
-Soyal Smalls, Graduate Student, Poughkeepsie, NY

"I would classify it (Awakened Birth™) as a positive, life changing experience. The hypnotherapy helped to relax me. Within 12 hours of the (hypnosis) session, my mucous plug came out. I would recommend Awakened Birth ™ to a friend if they wanted a natural childbirth and needed help to relax and focus. " -Erika Fareed, Executive Manager, Wilton, CT

“I was looking for an easier pregnancy and was a little afraid about the whole giving birth thing. I'd heard tons of stories from my older sisters, aunts, and even my mother about how difficult it is being pregnant and how awful giving birth was all going to be. It took a lot to convince me that all the women in my life could be wrong. Hypnosis is really a powerful tool and I recommend it to anyone who is pregnant or even thinking about getting pregnant. The greatest gift was being alert and an active part of my birth. I felt empowered from the very beginning when we first spoke over the phone. Ajamu has a great voice and warm manner that took all my anxious feelings right away.”
-Roberta Patterson, Brooklyn, NY

“I want everyone to know that childbirth doesn't have to be long and painful. If I can do it, anyone can do it. I was there and not there at the same time. It was so weird! I felt what was happening (the baby) but it was nothing like people had said it would be. It was like my senses had been adjusted. I'm so glad I was able to eliminate all the painful waiting and have my baby in the most natural way. This was really a growing experience and now I know I can do it. Thanks, Ajamu.”
-Willie Mae Atkins, Office Manager, Bronx, NY

“Ajamu Ayinde is a very skillful hypnotherapist. I was impressed with the wide variety of “tools” and techniques that he used to assist in my process of healing. First, he had me identify 25 reasons why I wanted to overcome my undesirable habit. He then explained, with great detail, what hypnosis is and what it is not. He was very patient with me. (I ask a lot of questions.) After each of our sessions, he asked me what worked and he tailored the next session to meet my particular needs. Our sessions were recorded and I was encouraged to listen to them daily for self-hypnosis. He even sent me reminders if he saw that I was slacking off. I was also given a methodology that I could use to take action. By breaking down my project into smaller tasks, it became more doable. I was no longer overwhelmed. This process has helped me develop a new way of thinking about myself and my challenges. Ajamu Ayinde is very knowledgeable, very professional and very caring. I highly recommend his services to anyone considering hypnotherapy.”
-Nzinga Richards, Doula NY, NY

“My hypnosis sessions leave me feeling relaxed and powerful. I’ve been struggling with social anxiety for a very long time. But with Ajamu’s guidance, I have broken through barrier after barrier, and found myself in a place I frankly was unsure I would ever see, again. The hypnosis sessions have allowed me to experience a deeper samadhi (meditative state) than I have experienced before, and to emerge with a greater confidence and self-acceptance than I have felt for many years.”
-Ulysses Hernandez, Middle School Teacher, NY, NY

“I worked with Mr. Ayinde several times and found each session was extremely helpful. At first, I was nervous- “hypnosis” sounded scary. When I realized it was really deep relaxation and I was still in aware and conscious, I was greatly relieved. Mr. Ayinde was so accepting and easy to talk to. First, we talked so he that he understood my issue, then, after working on relaxing more and more, Mr. Ayinde guided me on an imaginary journey where we worked on my issue. It was very effective. The best part was that he recorded the hypnosis part and sent it to me so I could repeat the session at home. I listened to it almost every day before the next session and it became more and more familiar, increasing its impact. And now months after, I have the recordings to again brush up on issues that still creep up on me. I highly recommend Ajamu Ayinde.”
-Margery Davis, Dance Instructor, Hyde Park, NY

“Working with Ajamu has been life changing. Prior to connecting with Ajamu, I was in a dark place mentally. I could no longer find joy in the game of basketball and in life in general. I felt as though there was no way out of the cycle of depression that I was experiencing. But, fortunately for me, I was able to connect with Ajamu at the right time and have him as a resource to help guide me back to becoming the absolute best version of myself in every aspect of my life. Since working with Ajamu, my confidence has increased immensely and I have experienced the benefits both on and off the court. The self-hypnosis techniques that I have learned in my sessions with Ajamu have been pivotal ensuring I have the right mindset going into each game and practice. I would recommend Ajamu to any athlete who aspires to become the best version of themselves. I can guarantee that you will discover the true power of your mind with each session.”
-Isaiah Rice, Division 1 Basketball Player

"Modern day hypnosis to help break through personal issues. He is professional, patient and accommodating. Definitely my go to therapist.” -Kiandra Venson, Realtor, Brooklyn, NY

"Ajamu is very through in his work. He spends the time to interview you to understand how to approach his hypnotherapy on you. With an open mind and desire to improve your condition, this works! It has changed my life forever. I am forever grateful to Ajamu for our work together and my success in two conditions.
One was for my allergies which he helped almost immediately. The other was more complicated and took several months. I would highly recommend Ajamu for his hypnotherapy sessions."
-Milton Apotaso, Engineer, Kent, NY

“As an amateur tournament poker player with aspirations of becoming a professional, I'm always looking for ways to get better and gain an edge. I wanted to do better job of trusting my reads in tough spots and keeping laser focused during the long grind of tournaments. I also wanted to do better of setting aside the proper about of time for studying and practice. After I heard a poker podcast that had a segment on featuring hypnosis, I contacted Ajamu Ayinde, a Mental Game Specialist with over 20 years of experience.
I noticed Ajamu's thoroughness and professionalism from the very start and he did a wonderful job of explaining what hypnosis is and putting me at ease. The biggest change I saw after working with him over Skype was how I felt after a loss. The pain and frustration didn't linger like it normally would. Now my focus is stronger, my retention greater and confidence higher. I have cashed at a great rate including 5 final tables and 2 top 5 finishes. I would recommend his services to anyone and everyone."
-Mitchell Anderson, Personal Security Specialist, Detroit, MI

“My hypnosis sessions with Ajamu Ayinde have been very successful. I had so much pain resulting from a knee surgery in 2010, a broken ankle in 2009 and years of chronic back pain. Throughout the course of treatment, I felt a major reduction of pain in all three areas. I am able to get around much better and see a big improvement in my quality of life Ajamu taught me self-hypnosis, which is an important part of maintaining my comfort level. It also contributes to a good night’s sleep. I know hypnosis works, because if I skip some sessions, the pain reminds me. I am very grateful for the relief I have received.”
-Reva Joyce Langson, Retired Educator, Gastonia, NC

“I came to Ajamu Ayinde as part of my preparation for the 2011 CrossFit Games Finals. I had competed in the finals the year before and was disappointed with my performance. I felt I had underachieved not because of a lack of physical training, but rather because I felt distracted and unsure of myself. After a series of weekly sessions with Ajamu in which we rehearsed mental imagery, performance visualization and centering techniques, I returned to the games. My performance in 2011 was much improved. I was more focused, centered and confident in my abilities. I was able to enjoy the competition instead of dreading it. I have Ajamu to thank for giving me the missing piece to my training program. Superior mental preparation is what separates the winners from the rest of the competitors. Thank you, Ajamu.” -Peter Nathan, Owner GunxCrossfit Gardiner, NY

“I would like to THANK YOU again for the very informative and inspirational lecture you presented to the YMCA Kingston last night.

-Judy Burns, YMCA Group Fitness Coordinator, Kingston, NY

-Jennifer Hickey, working mom, Danbury, CT

“Ajamu has helped me greatly with my weight loss. I had reached a plateau for almost six months of not losing weight and thanks to Ajamu that has all changed for me. I am not only losing weight I am also feeling good about myself. He has been a great support to me. He motivates me to do better and he understands me. He is such a positive person and encourages me to see the glass half full. After every time I meet with him, I walk away feeling good about myself and my achievements. I can honestly say he makes me feel proud of myself and because of that I'm able to be more confident. He has also taught me how to reduce stress in my life. With his guidance I can now identify my stressors and address them. I have been very lucky to know him and work with him.”
-Georgia C., speech therapist, Fishkill, NY
“Throughout the years, I have encountered many counselors but none as caring, compassionate, and thorough as my present counselor, Ajamu Ayinde. As many people may know, losing weight can be stressful; however, Ajamu has made this experience not only a pleasant one, but I look forward to being able to talk with him about my successes and failures. As a Weight Loss Consultant, he is truly the total package.”
-Yvonne Watts, Principal, Yonkers, NY

“Ajamu has played an important role in keeping me on target and teaching me the proper techniques in order to keep the negative out of my weight-loss experience. I went into this experience with the mantra that I “would not fail this time.” Ajamu helped me get past the negative and create a positive mantra and outlook. I needed to stop looking at the negative and embrace the positives of my experience. Ajamu has helped me do that. He has taught me different techniques to handle my stress and continuously encourages me throughout my whole weight loss experience. His positive outlook and coaching techniques have helped me eliminate the negative and find new ways of dealing with the stresses of my hectic life. I could not have asked for a better counselor to help me lose weight. Today, I am 52 pounds lighter and still losing. I can honestly say that Ajamu’s coaching has helped get me on the road to a better me.”
-Nancy Genck, Retail Manager, Poughkeepsie, NY

-Catherine Sorrentino, Food Service Manager, Dover Plains, NY

“I have known Ajamu for almost two years now. He has helped me in so many ways. He is always kind, courteous and sweet. From the moment I met him he put me at ease and we bonded immediately. I was a little shy at first and worried about how he was going to accept my uniqueness. But I need not have worried. He helped me realize that what I thought were shortcomings were actually normal feelings and I need not feel alone. I have seen him treat others the same way. He is such a great motivational speaker and I feel so much better after I have met with him. He does not push me or make me feel uncomfortable like other counselors do, but he works with me, side by side and helps me know that I can be a better person.”
-L. Mintz, Administrative Assistant, New Paltz, NY

“Slowly, but surely, my life is changing for the better. I have lost 25+ pounds this year and have dropped at least one dress size. I feel happier than I have felt in a long time. I am more confident and assured now. I recently took my first vacation in over four years just a few weeks ago. While it is still a process for me, I’m learning to put some kind of balance in my life and I have Ajamu to thank for this. While the weight loss is important for me and I am one third of the way through my program, I am more proud of the fact that I have decided to put myself first. I realize also that it was the motivation and support which worked wonders. I have Ajamu to thank for helping me make such a much needed change in my life.” -Pamela Lee, Attorney, Queens, NY

-Janet Ruhe-Schoen, Writer, Beacon, NY

Presentations and Classes
“Thank you very much for your contribution this spring at Morehouse School of Medicine. Your lecture regarding the use of medical hypnosis as a healing modality was captivating, insightful and inspiring. The examples and case reports you gave students of your work made the application of medical hypnosis more real and meaningful to the students.

I invite you to participate next year in the ICAM class."

The knowledge and skills I have learned from him I use in my self-hypnosis and incorporate into my own teaching to the staff and patients at my health care facility. A hypnotherapy course given by Ajamu would be valuable to all backgrounds and would be very beneficial to MD’s and other healthcare professionals.” -Ernest Lofton, M.D., M.P.H., C.H., Physician, Brooklyn, NY

“I have been a pediatrician for 27 years (2010) and I embrace complementary medicine as part of my practice. Hypnotherapy has many uses in pediatrics including needle phobia, enuresis and allergies. I find that children are ideal candidates for hypnosis because it utilizes an active imagination. Ajamu Ayinde has been associated with New Windsor Pediatrics for almost two years. In that time I have known him to demonstrate compassion, cultural sensitivity, patience, creativity and discretion in dealing with patients. He has extensive training in various methods of hypnotherapy, as well as applied sports psychology. A former high school teacher, Ajamu has helped young people with a variety of issues but his current practice has him using hypnosis to support diet adherence, exercise motivation and exam anxiety. I wholeheartedly recommend Ajamu’s services to my patients, other parents and physicians.
